Got upvotes but no payout? An overview of the situation around the minimum payout threshold by @crokkon [analysis]
Without exception, @crokkon creates amazing pieces of analytical work. In this post, his main point of interest was a payout threshold in the Steem blockchain, exploring why not all posts are paid out if they didn’t receive enough STUs. @crokkon explore the threshold that has been set at 0.02 STU for any post and comment to be paid out. He presents the count of posts and the time they were created, and has interesting observations.

1UP News: Fundition Campaign, New Platform Account And UP Token Distribution Explained by @steem-1up [blog]
Steem-1up is the descendant of utopian-1up, following the idea of 1UP. Its aim is to create a hivemind curation system for different communities.

Logo for lightsteem by @oups [graphics]
@oups has participated in the task request for lightsteem, which is a lightweight Python library for Steem. @emrebeyler, the creator and developer of lightsteem has asked for a new logo to represent his project. We can see that the actual logo is clean and simple, and the presentation follows the idea of simplicity, too. You can read about the initial idea, the process of creating the logo, and the color ranges that were used to make the logo best possible.

Announcing Finally Network - Turn your Steem blog into a website by @sambillingham [development]
@sambillingham has proved in the past that his projects have potential and are useful to the community. He has worked on Steem-based projects, and Finally Network is no different. Continuing to develop new projects that utilise the Steem blockchain will show that the blockchain can be used for different kinds of projects. Finally Network aims to provide a simple way to create a custom website for Steem users. The creator compares the idea to Squarespace, and at the moment has provided an MVP of the project, which may change according to received feedback.

Building an asyncsteem python web app with micro-transaction-based steem user authentication, Redis and Jinja2 by @mattockfs [tutorials]
Another great tutorial by @mattockfs. The author provides a quick comparison between Steemconnect and micro-transaction approaches for authentication. He bases the tutorial on building a micro transactions authentication system under a Python implementation, as an alternative and better approach to authenticate users instead of delegating authority via steemconnect.

Utopian Witness Vote for our witness!
i am bothered that the 2 ideas entry wasn't rewarded and probably because they might have not met @utopian-io's criteria. In any case, ideas are pivotal to the growth of #steem as well as the interactivity of #steem-based projects. May be the Utopian-io team will enhance this category by creating a "challenge" or "problem" or "query" category where issues or challenges could be shared. Utopian-io also need a RESEARCH category where contributors will scavenge for isses and problems whose host might have not been sensitive to. The typical academic approach to research (survey) could be adopted by users in tat category so that recommendations will give a good footing for ideas.
Thank you.
Congrats to all on this list. They have all done amazing job. I must emphasise the analysis by @crokkon .... stunning!
They are doing a great job. I hope to be someday in the top 5 of @utopian-io; I will do more to give the best of me to keep improving.
